Abstract
In a machine having a shaft with a shaft axis, an outer region, and a shaft seal, a component is provided for the shaft seal. The component has a cast part formed of a first metallic material directed along the shaft axis and has an inner wall shaped, at least in regions, in a circumferential direction relative to the shaft axis, and an outer wall directed towards the outer region. A fluid guide is disposed and formed in the cast part and runs in the circumferential direction, at least in regions, and opens into the inner wall. At least one fluid conduit formed of a second metallic material fluidically connects the inner wall to the outer region. The fluid conduit is also fluidically connected to the fluid guide.
